# How GSC Pulse Works

A fixed decision sequence keeps the first screen useful even when the portfolio grows.

## 1. Connect with read-only access

Chrome Identity requests the Search Console read-only scope. GSC Pulse cannot edit properties, submit sitemaps, or change websites.

## 2. Select a working portfolio

Choose properties that share an owner, market, team, or review cadence. Selections, favorites, labels, and notes stay in Chrome local storage.

## 3. Compare equal periods

Use 7, 28, or 90 days and compare with the immediately preceding equal period.

## 4. Build the priority

Clicks, impressions, CTR, position, concentration, scope, and data confidence shape the decision.

## 5. Enrich the strongest signals

Pages, queries, devices, countries, query-page pairs, [Search Appearance](/glossary/search-appearance/), hourly pulse, and sitemaps are requested when supported.

## 6. Open evidence

Each useful card opens a page, query, segment, sitemap, or native Search Console report.
